You've finally picked up the kids from school, they jump in the car and your first instinct is to ask them: "How was your day?"

However, this often leads to a response no more than a simple "good", "fine" or "OK" ... which of course, doesn’t really tell you much.

Instead, try these thought-provoking questions that will help you get in touch with what your kids are really getting up to all day at school and may even result in some great yarns with your little ones.

20 questions to ask your kids after school:

1. What’s the funniest thing that happened to you today?

2. What did you like learning about the most?

3. Who would you like to play with at lunch break that you’ve never played with before?

4. What questions did you ask at school today?

5. What’s something special that happened today that you wish happened every day?
